  • La-dee-da-da-da
    Da-da-la-la-la-la-la, la-la
    Ooh, ooh, ooh
    (My life, my life, my life, my life, in the sunshine)

    If you looked at my life
    And see what I've seen (la-da-da-da-da)
    If you looked at my life
    And see what I've seen (la-da-da-da-da-da-da)
    If you looked at my life
    And see what I've seen (la-da-da-da-da)
    If you looked at my life
    And see what I've seen
    (My life, my life, my life, my life, in the sunshine)

    Life can be only what you make it
    When you're feeling down, you should never fake it
    Say what's on your mind and you'll find in time
    That all the negative energy, it will all decease
    And you'll be at peace with yourself, mmm, mmm, mmm
    You won't really need no one else
    Except for the man up above, yeah
    Because He'll give you love
    Oh, oh, ooh, ooh, ooh
    (My life, my life, my life, my life, in the sunshine)
    If you looked into my life

    If you looked at my life
    And see what I've seen (oh, you will see I'm so blue)
    If you looked at my life
    And see what I've seen (down and out, crying every day)
    (Don't know what to do or to say)
    If you looked at my life
    And see what I've seen
    (If you looked into my life)
    If you looked at my life
    And see what I've seen (mmm)

    Take your time, baby, don't you rush a thing
    Don't you know I know we all are struggling
    I know it is hard, but we will get by
    And if you don't believe in me, just believe in He, yeah
    'Cause He'll give you peace of mind (yes, He would)
    And you will see the sunshine (for real, yes, you would)
    And you'll get to free your mind
    And things will turn out fine
    Oh, I know that things will turn out fine
    Yes, they would, yes they would, ayy (my life, my life, my life)
    (My life, in the sunshine)

    If you looked at my life
    And see what I've seen (oh, oh)
    If you looked at my life
    And see what I've seen (mhm)
    If you looked at my life
    And see what I've seen (all you got to do is)
    If you looked at my life
    And see what I've seen (take your time, one day at a time)
    (It's all on you, what you gonna do?)
    If you looked at my life
    And see what I've seen (la-da-da-da-da)
    If you looked at my life
    And see what I've seen (la-da-da-da-da-da-da)
    If you looked at my life
    And see what I've seen (la-da-da-da-da)
    If you looked at my life
    And see what I've seen (la-da-da-da-da) Writer/s: Arlene Delvalle, Carl Thompson, Mary J Blige, Roy Ayers, Sean Combs
